Jen Affleck, a star of the Hulu series "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives," has filed for divorce from her husband, Zac Affleck, according to Utah court records obtained by E! News and PEOPLE. The filing took place on Tuesday, Nov. 3, in the Fourth Judicial District Court in Provo, Utah, according to a filing obtained by PEOPLE.
Jen and Zac Affleck met in 2018 through the Mormon dating app Mutual. Zac proposed to Jen in early 2019 at the Top of the Rock in New York City, and the couple married in June 2019.
According to the couple's history, they have three children:
Jen Affleck is currently pregnant with the couple's fourth child, an announcement she shared in June 2026.
The couple's relationship has been featured on the Hulu series "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives" and its spinoffs. During the first season, which aired in 2024, viewers saw the couple argue regarding Zac's gambling and Jen's potential attendance at a Chippendales show in Las Vegas. Jen told Vulture that she entered the filming process with her relationship "in a rocky place" and noted that the couple had been in therapy "nonstop" since filming began.
In season five, filmed in early 2026, the series documented further clashes. Jen reported that Zac had threatened to divorce her if she took an acting role involving an on-screen relationship. She also noted a disagreement regarding a Sports Illustrated photoshoot, which Zac described as a magazine for "creepy old men who want to masturbate."
"Having this conversation is making me realize I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to go after what I actually want," Jen said in a season 5 confessional.
In August 2026, Jen told PEOPLE that she and Zac were working on their relationship while she dealt with medical issues and prenatal depression during her first trimester.
"It’s been a lot the past couple of months, I’ll be honest," Jen told PEOPLE. "But I do feel like I’m seeing the light at the end of the tunnel and just trying to count my blessings every single day. There’s a lot that we’ve been navigating behind closed doors."
While Jen submitted a proposed parenting plan with the divorce petition, court records did not reveal the specific reasons for the split or the details of the custody arrangement being sought.
The divorce filing comes shortly before the November 12 premiere of the Hulu spinoff, "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County," in which Jen Affleck is set to star.
